"Congratulations your majesty! It's a girl!" the royal nurse exclaimed. Queen Lillian smiled as her daughter was passed to her. The small kitten was wrapped in a blanket, sound asleep.

"Welcome to the world, my precious Kellie," she whispered. The purple cat was the queen of the land. She ruled with grace and with justice. Now she would have to be a mother as well as a queen. She couldn't take her eyes off of the pink kitten that would someday be queen. The doctors and nurses left the room so Lillian could have some time alone with her daughter. Lillian leaned back on her pillows and closed her eyes, listening to her daughter's soft breathing.

"Come see me once the baby is born," a voice echoed in her head. She sat up, remembering her visit from the kingdom's wizard, Shyamal. She would go to him that evening, when it was darker out.

That night, Lillian made her way through the city. She came upon a small hut and knocked on the door. "Who's there?" a low voice asked.

"It's me," she replied quietly. "You told me to see you." The door immediately swung open Lillian saw the shadow of the wizard in the doorway. The black bird stepped aside.

"Come in your highness," he said. Lillian walked past him and into his hut. It wasn't as frightening as she thought it would be. She sat herself down on a brown couch. Shyamal sat across from her. "I didn't think you would come."

"I try to listen to my people as much as I can. You told me to come here when my baby was born, and so I have."

"You have the child here with you?"

"Yes, I brought her along."

"Good. Foretelling her future will be easier with her here."

"Wait a minute, you just wanted me here to tell me my daughter's future?"

"That's not quite it your majesty. I've sensed something stirring. It started shortly after you announced that a princess was on the way. It's been growing since then. You need to know what lies in her future. I fear it may not be good."

"Alright. Go ahead." Shyamal stood up and walked behind the couch. Lillian didn't look over her shoulder to see what he was doing, but it sounded like he was going through cupboards looking for something. He walked back with a book and a bottle of what looked like sand in his hands. Without a word he put the book down and poured some of the sand into his now empty hand. He threw it into the fire. The flames suddenly burst into larger, green ones. He turned around and faced Lillian.

"I need something of the babe's," he said quietly. Lillian looked down at Kellie. She didn't know what Shyamal would need of hers. She stroked Kellie's head and gently pulled a hair off. She handed it over to Shyamal who then threw it into the fire. The flames became the same colour as Kellie's fur. Shyamal then opened his book and did some strange hand movements and muttered something in a language Lillian did not understand. "Come over here," he said. Lillian stood up and cautiously walked over to the fire. "You see that?" Shyamal pointed at what looked like a wilted flower. "What do you see right there?"

"A wilted flower," Lillian replied quietly.

"And what about over here?" Lillian looked at where the black bird's feather was pointing.

"It looks like a face, but not one I've ever seen."

"This man is the disturbance I've been feeling. See how he's looking at the wilted flower?" Lillian nodded. "That's a metaphor, you could say. He wants the flower to be your daughter."

"I don't understand."

"He wants your kingdom. The best way to do that is-"

"Say no more. I understand. Does this man have a name?"

"His name is Dr. Robotnik, or Dr. Eggman."

"And what can I do to stop him from harming my daughter? Is there anything I can do to keep her safe?" Lillian's tone was flat, but she was extremely afraid.

"You have to hide her. If someone else were to raise her, he wouldn't be the wiser."

"If it'll keep Kellie safe, I'll do it. Is there anyone in specific that I should hand her over to?"

"No. But there are some that you must not hand her over to, for it will be a grave mistake." Shyamal did a strange hand motion. "Any house that will be unsafe for her is marked with a blue 'X' on it. No one will see it but you."

"Thank you Shyamal." Lillian turned to leave.

"One more thing your highness. I suggest you give her to a house that is at least two houses away from marked ones. She will be safer that way."

"Will I ever see her again?"

"Once she is older and ready to take the throne. Or when the danger is passed. Whichever comes first."

"Thank you very much." Lillian rushed out of the small hut. She pulled her hood over her head and ran down the streets. She looked at each house she passed. Many more than she thought were marked with the blue 'X'. She finally found a house that was not next door to marked houses.

Lillian placed the basket with Kellie in it on the steps. The baby smiled up at her mother. "We'll be together again someday, Kellie," Lillian whispered. She knocked on the door and then walked down the road a little. She watched as the person living in the house opened the door. Lillian smiled. It was a rabbit. Lillian knew that rabbits were the gentlest of anyone in her kingdom.

The rabbit looked down at the baby with surprise. She leaned over and picked up the small pink kitten and smiled. "I don't know where you came from, but you'll stay with us," she said before walking inside.

"I promise," Lillian whispered before turning and running back to the castle.

There's the first chapter. I know the beginning is like Sonic Underground, but the story is not a varied version of it. So please don't send reviews saying that this is like Sonic Underground.
